100 Up! (Usurped)

My luck escapes me one more time
Underwhelmed, I am, by a second sign
Get me a camera, a pc, a phone
Give me insurance until I get home
Everything changes, in the words of Take That
Don’t let me get my hands on that robbing twat

A word to the wise in the town of good air
Get some protection, to make things more fair
A good time remains, I´m certain of that
In BA of all places, despite robbing twat
Now to get on with my life. Again.

Mum isn’t to know.

Record, End of the Century, Blur

    Not again! Are you OK? What happened? Do you need anything that I can help with?

    Gillian, so kind. Report on the event to follow at some point. I’m absolutely fine, there is no need to worry and nothing to do. I’ve been to a concert tonight!

    Gutted for you mate. I hope you weren’t too upset to realise the concert you went to was the Rolling Has-Beens….which reminds me the Saw Doctors are touring again, they play Warrington at the end of April, everyone welcome.

    Oh no Martin – that’s dreadful, I can’t believe that’s happended again. Feel a bit helpless sitting in London, but of there’s anything I can do, let me know. Glad to hear that you’re ok, what did they take the robbing bastards??

    Spoke to Martin last night. He was lucky, I have to say, having been jumped by three blokes. It appears that he was a bit of a Charles Bronson and ensured that two of them limped off, rather than ran off. I have the poisoned chalice of phone replacement (which is all they got, by the way). Just had a row with O2 (surprise, surprise) and will be off to the O2 shop at lunch time. Why do they have a phone service?
    He was in good spirits, I know who he was going to see last night and I am jealous.
    He’s moved away from the dodgy hostel area and back into the 4* lifestyle to which he has become accustomed. He is OK though.

    What date, Mike? We may be up there for that.

  13. Sister Angela Says:

    Is the Parr Hall owned by me dad and Uncle Tommy?

    The Docs gig is on Wednesday 26th April. £15 per ticket I think. It generally sells out but not until the week of the concert.

    Docs are at Goatsville on the 1st of May too……….OK, Wrexham then!

    Hi Martin,

    I might have once thought you were older than you are, but I wouldn’t have compared you to Charles Bronson – used to see all his films though. Are you now carrying a sock full of coins?

    Glad you are ok and so sweet that even in your bad luck protecting your mum.

    Love

    Elaine

    Only my mobile phone went (it was a very specific theft). Everything else I kept, so it is fine. Thanks everyone.

    Did they steal you’re rhyming dictionary?
    sat, hat, mat and splat all also rhyme with that or did you just want to use the word twat twice?

  21. admin Says:

    Thanks for that Col. As you can see it is currently untitled and I did want to stress my opinion of the young criminal(s) in question. I don’t think ‘robbing mat’ has quite the same force.

    So sorry youve been mugged again. But nothing can keep you down for long. Carry on enjoying yourself and brightening up my day. I’ll do the same for you sometime!!! He He!

  24. Derm Says:

    Good to see you have got over your latest misfortune. I am assuming the Charles Bronson you were impersonating was the vigilante chappie of the Death Wish movies not the imprisoned body-building lunatic.

  25. Angela Says:

    Take your pick Derm. He fits both.
